SA Gamer has published an amazing deep dive into both Shadowlands lore elements, as well as the audio and visual design which brings Bastion to life. Joined by senior game designer Johnny Cash, as well as a host of sound and art designers, the article provides a great deal of insight regarding the thought process behind the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion.

Many races will receive character customization updates in the Shadowlands expansion, and with the recent Blood Elf eye news, we thought it was a good time to share our customization guides we've put together for all races. As customization options for each race are added over the course of many alpha builds, it can be hard to keep track of the complete list of customization options, so we've created these guides compiling all the new options.

With Chromie Time added to the Shadowlands Alpha, DesMephisto has set a new leveling record, going from 10 to 50 in 3 hours and 37 minutes in Warlords of Draenor. While the new expansion choosing feature is definitely incomplete and there's likely a lot of early level tuning to be done, it's a great chance to experience leveling up through those previous expansions. Some people may get tired of hearing about frequent speed leveling achievements, but we are not those people!

Polygon released a short Bastion teaser, highlighting the first Shadowlands leveling zone along with a few a insights from World of Warcraft lead narrative designer Steve Danuser and senior game designer Johnny Cash. While there isn't much that we haven't already seen or heard, the article brings up a few provocative talking points.
